Quantitative imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larvae during cryptobiotic transition using optical diffraction tomography

K. Kim*, V. R. Gade*, T. V. Kurzchalia, and J. Guck

Biophysical Journal, 121, 1219–1229 (2022)

The refractive index of C. elegans dauer larvae in harsh desiccation increases up to 1.5!
Mutants that are sensitive to desiccation displayed structural abnormalities in the anhydrobiotic stage that could not be observed by conventional microscopy.

Correlative all-optical quantification of mass density and mechanics of sub-cellular compartments with fluorescence specificity

eLife 10, e68490 (2022)

Combined Brillouin microscopy with optical diffraction tomography (ODT) and fluorescence microscopy which can quantify the mechanical properties (longitudinal moduli) and mass density with specificity to fluorescent-labeled structures.

The relative densities of cytoplasm and nuclear compartments are robust against strong perturbation

K. Kim and J. Guck

Biophysical Journal, 119, 1946-1957 (2020)

To our surprise, we found that nucleoplasm is less dense than the cytoplasm, while nucleoli — phase-separated membraneless compartments inside nuclei — exhibit significantly higher mass density. This scenario did not change during the progression through the cell cycle; and even when we tried really hard to change it by drug-induced perturbations of the cytoskeleton and chromatin compaction.
